Well, you could argue that AMD did throw in phantom DDR benchmarks.

Re: "If you take away SpecFP it is easy to see that most of P4's (and PIII's) strength comes from SSE/SSE2. And you know AMD is implementing these. "

As far as I know, AMD seems to have SSE2 on their 64 bit roadmap.

That would imply we won't see first samples for about another year.

And AMD has to make these 64 bits SSE2 as will as 32 bit SSE2 instructions. They will be busy for about a year or more.
